LGBTQ+ Relationship Counselling
Relationship support with room for the whole of who you are
I offer English-language relationship counselling for LGBTQIA+, queer, trans, and gender-diverse couples, partners, and multi-partner relationships.
Alongside my life partner, Kirien, I offer a co-facilitated format that creates more space to slow down, notice what is happening between you, and stay curious about the relationship in the present moment.
You won’t need to translate your identity, gender, sexuality, relationship structure, or community before we can begin exploring what is actually happening between you.
You might be coming because…
the same conflict or misunderstanding keeps returning
closeness, intimacy, or communication feels different than it used to
one or more of you is moving through transition, identity change, grief, burnout, or another major life change
gender, sexuality, family, community, or belonging is affecting the relationship
your relationship structure, agreements, or needs are changing
outside pressure, discrimination, or minority stress is making it harder to stay connected
you are unsure what comes next for the relationship
nothing is necessarily wrong, but you want more space to understand one another
These are places we can begin, rather than problems we need to rush to solve.
LGBTQIA+ relationships exist within a larger world
Relationships are shaped by more than what happens between partners.
Chosen family, biological family, community, culture, migration, gender, sexuality, visibility, safety, belonging, and the wider social environment can all influence what happens inside a relationship.
Our work makes room for that context without assuming that every difficulty is caused by identity.
Couples, partners, and multi-partner relationships
Relationship counselling does not need to assume that a relationship contains exactly two people.
We welcome couples, triads, polyamorous relationships, open relationships, consensually non-monogamous relationships, and other multi-partner structures.
The co-facilitated format can adapt depending on who is part of the relationship and who would like to participate.
